honored by the people to fill high stations in the
councils of lawmakers. He writes under date
OF November /, 1887 as follows:
"A box of oranges grown on a Seeding tree
eleven years old, eight miles southeast of Oro-
vile, was sent to the Central Pacific Railroad
office. For beauty and flavor they have not
been eXcelled in the State. The undersigned
bought some Riverside Nayels at 12IZ cents
each, to test their respective qualities and he is
free 10 say that the Butte county orange was
lar superior can only describe the flavor of
the Butte county orange as being analogous to
the superior flavor of sparkling over still wine
Without III the least deteriorating from the
Riverside orange, which has a national rep,lta-
ton, | must concede the palm to the Oroyille
orange"
Tn 5 is the judgment of a gentleman thor
oughly competent to judge of the relative merits
OF the fruits grown at Riverside and Oroyille.

about Oroville, extending north to Millville, in
Shasta county, and south to Amador, embracing
parts OF Tehama, Butte, Yuba. Suffer, Placer

produces thermal belt which ripens citrus
fruits some weeks earlier than in any other part
of the State.
Butte county, blessed with rich and produc-
tive soil, with unlimited resources, with I'M
rlvaled climate; blessed with all that is re-
CURED to make country great. and a people
happy and prosperous, is attracting the atten-
ton not alone of the homeseeking citizens of the
United States, but of all Europe. No section of
our common country presents greater or better
inducements to the immigrant. Here YOU will
find hundreds of thousands of acres of Govern
ment land subject to pre- emption o. homestead
entry. Here you will find more than
100000 ACRES OF PATENTED RAILROAD LANDS.
Which averages in price from 81 so to So so per
acre, as said before. Most of this land both
Government and railroad, will produce as good
fruits of eve y variety as is produced in the
State. Here you will find hundreds of thou
sands of acres of giant forests of sugar pine and
other lumber producing trees-the very para
dsse OF lumbermen-which only awaits the
coming of the sturdy, brawny- armed lumber
